I made this card for Alex who is an injured officer who is also a friend of Barbie50. I was browsing the forums last night and found this link that Barbie posted: Card Request For Injured Officer by Barbie 50 at Splitcoaststampers asking people to make cards for him.
I did this last year for my mom's 85th birthday, it's a great feeling knowing that people are willing to send cards to people they don't even know.
I cased this great card by Vickie Y Happy Mother's Day vky by Vickie Y at Splitcoaststampers
I used SU Chocolate Chip cs as the base. I layered with The Paper Company Metallic Brown cs. I also used unknown teal dp, sponged with SU Chocolate Chip ink. I used the CB Textile folder on a strip of the Metallic Brown cs, layered on a piece of SU Taken With Teal cs. I wrapped 2 pieces of ribbon around the metallic cs & tied a knot. I stamped the sentiment with black stazon. I also added 3 gold adhesive rhinestones to the bottom. I was given these great western images from my pen pal Connie (KittyKat) on SCS, this was the perfect opportunity to use one. I colored with my primascolor pencils, mineral spirits & also sponged around the edges, then layered with SU Chocolate Chip cs.

Wow Connie, you did an amazing job coloring the image and an all around great job on the card as well.
Alex is going to be touched that a total stranger cared enough to make a special card just for him.
Thank you. It means so much to me as well.
